[Intro: Marley Marl]
I don't care who's first or who last
But I know that y'all just better rock this at the drop of a dime, baby
I don't know what y'all gon' do with this, but it got to be funky
It got to be funky if you're gonna be on it
I don't care who start
I don't care what y'all do
But you got to be finished before the music is through
Now, who's first up to bat?
[Verse 1: Masta Ace]
Listen closely, so your attention's undivided
Many in the past have tried to do what I did
But just the way I came off then, I'm gonna come off
Stronger and longer, even with the drum off
I keep on goin' and flowin' just like a river
I got a whole lot to give, so I'mma give a
Little at a time, new trails are blazin'
Action is in effect, and always stays in
Yeah, just like a shot from a cannon
I am the man in charge and I've been plannin'
A jam strong enough that it can lift your soul
I'm the originator, and my rhymes are made of gold
Once you hear the capital A, rap, it'll stay
With you for a while, it won't go away
Unless you force it, because it stays with you, my friend
And if you toss it away, I'mma hit ya again
I project my voice so it's right in the crowd
There's a sign at the door: No bitin' allowed!
And if you didn't read it, I suggest you do so
Or you'll be stranded, just like Crusoe
Sleep if ya wanna, go 'head, get some shut-eye
A man broke his jaw tryin' to say what I
Say on the microphone, you shoulda left it alone
Just for the record, let it be known
That my ego's only partially grown
And never will I ever condone bitin' in any form
Yo, I only warn, that verse was the calm, now here's the storm
I don't care who's first or who last
But I know that y'all just better rock this at the drop of a dime, baby
I don't know what y'all gon' do with this, but it got to be funky
It got to be funky if you're gonna be on it
I don't care who start
I don't care what y'all do
But you got to be finished before the music is through
Now, who's first up to bat?
